Re: Ultimate Ascension of Isaiah thread
Ohayo GakuseiDon and all :) Just had a Jungian gold-bug moment which I thought I'd share - Around the time I caught this thread, I was also looking into the Song of Roland , (an epic poem about a battle from Charlemagne's time, but written a few centuries later, just before the first Holy Grail lite...

Gday ulan
it doesn't look like anyone here believes any of their nonsense about colour changes.

Re: Codex Sinaiticus - the white parchment Friderico-Augustanus
Gday all, Some more thoughts on sheep genetics (hey, I'm from Oz, sheep are important to us - you know they say 'Australia rides on the sheep's back', right ? TBH they're a little awkward travelling to work on, but the good news is that they can fit 16 lanes across the Sydney harbour hyperpotamus, 2...

Re: Codex Sinaiticus - the white parchment Friderico-Augustanus
Gday all :) As you pointed out, you might easily find flora and fauna that really fits one scenario over another. Presumably you mean that the DNA of sheep/lambs may be different between the 1st century vs the 19th century, right ? So that a DNA test revealing the vellum of Sinaiticus was from the 1...

Re: Codex Sinaiticus - the white parchment Friderico-Augustanus
Gday John T and all :) Well, you got me. Turns out DNA testing much like radiocarbon dating is completely useless in determining if a document is a modern forgery or not. Now since you caught me how about telling us what method is acceptable to you? :cheeky: No worries, mistakes happen :) I'm just a...

Re: Codex Sinaiticus - the white parchment Friderico-Augustanus
Gday all, If you have a breed of animal used for the vellum that did not exist in the 4th century then you have a case for fraud. If the ink has DNA of a plant not known to the region at the time, then you have fraud. There are many variables and scenarios. Yup :) But you brought up the subject of D...

Re: Codex Sinaiticus - the white parchment Friderico-Augustanus
Gday Ben C. Smith and all :) I have no expert knowledge of this matter, but I have found a number of articles suggesting that DNA dating of parchment has been in development for at least a decade. For example: https://www.livescience.com/3300-dna-reveal-origins-medieval-manuscripts.html . I have no ...

Re: Codex Sinaiticus - the white parchment Friderico-Augustanus
Gday all :) Vellum is parchment made from animal skins. DNA will confirm what animals were used and what generation they came from. http://www.sciencebuzz.org/blog/dna-and-dead-sea-scrolls-lessons-scientific-method Well, that site mentions DNA testing used to identify the animal species. But there i...
